3. INTRODUCTION
Now a days the use of vehicles are the part of life
Vehicle reduces the distance and saves time of busy human
life, still it has great drawback that is inevitable
Road mishaps occurs due to carelessness, condition of roads,
technological fault etc.
In 2014 around 4.8 lakh road accident occurred in which
4.5lakh people get injured and 1.4 lakh people die every year
due to road accident in India
Compared to day time risk of accident is three times at night
time

5. NEED OF ADAPTIVE LIGHTENING
SYSTEM
• Conventional front
lightning system is
static
• low beam or high
beam
• Illumination at
corner is not
possible while
taking a curve
5
6. NEED OF ADAPTIVE LIGHTENING
SYSTEM(Cont…)
• AFS control headlight
during vehicle’s turning
from driver’s point of view
• AFS consist of real time
sensor mounted on steering
shaft
• Improves visibility
• With better illumination,
stress and fatigue of driver
reduces
6
8. WORKING
• Output from rotary potentiometer
and multi turn preset is supplied
to logic IC
• Multi turn preset is used to set
benchmark
• Logic IC used as comparator and
works only if incoming value is
more than or equal to benchmark
value
• Signal from logic IC is amplified
using transistor
• Output from transistor is fed to a
12V DC relay through diodes
• Output from relay to LED
8
11. FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
• Common rubber based
platform for holding LED
can be developed
• Microcontroller chip can be
used to compact the design
• Dedicated steering angle
sensor can used instead of
potentiometer

12. ADVANTAGES
Cost effective solution for the problem of accidents occurring
night time
It can be easily mounted on cars
Enhances existing functionality of the headlight system
Increases visibility of the driver at curves
Increased safety for drivers and pedestrians
12
13. DISADVANTAGES
Continuous power supply for sensor circuit
Dislocation of LED may happen due to vibration
Use of potentiometer as angle sensor is not reliable due to its
error causing tendency with time
Present prototype is needs to be modified to make it
compatible with all power steering based vehicles
13
14. CONCLUSION
AFS serves as a reliable and efficient system for efficient
driving at sharp turn
System is inexpensive, simple and dependable assembly
Simple comparator based circuit is used ,which uses very
simple logic and makes it most economical to use
AFS ensures degree of safety in vehicle and assistance to
driver
